If you live in Lee County, you've heard of Hertz Global Holdings. Now, we have confirmed with the company that name is the one behind "Project Orange."

"Our plan is to separate the car and equipment rental businesses at Hertz," executive vice president of corporate affairs and communications for the Hertz Corporation Rich Broome said.

The company says Hertz Equipment Rental is the anonymous company Lee County planned to give more than $400,000 in incentive money, but that was put on hold indefinitely two weeks ago.

"Because the execution of our plan to separate the car and equipment business has been delayed for a longer period then we expected, we decided it didn't make sense to follow trough on those discussions," Broome said.

Broome says the split will happen sometime in the next 12 to 18 months. In the meantime, they are moving Hertz Equipment Rental from Naples to the Riverview Corporate Center in Bonita Springs.

"We've run out of space in the current locations we have in Naples and Bonita springs," Broome said.

They've signed a 10-year lease with options to terminate for space on the old Source Interlink building off US 41.

"We've obviously got an investment in Hertz and so it's good to see that they're looking at other avenues to bring more of their business here," Lee County Commissioner Larry Kiker said.

Lee County will still not say Hertz is "Project Orange" because they are bound to a confidentiality agreement. But commissioners say regardless of who the company is, they are happy to see Hertz expand in Lee County.

"Project Orange and any other companies in the future were going to continue to try and bring business to Lee County," Lee County Commissioner Cecil Pendergrass said.

Hertz said this new facility could bring new jobs. They also tell us they are considering Southwest Florida as a permanent location for their equipment rental company headquarters.
